In Diminished Capacity, a criminal defense lawyer is assigned to represent a young man who is at best only marginally guilty and may well be innocent. Along the way we meet other lawyers, a court reporter, a judge, a college professor, another defendant in the case, a student of the professor, and a psychologist—all of whom, like in a Dickens novel, seem to have connections to everyone else. And each of whom, through their own scheming and struggling, are diminished in their own capacity to decide what’s right and what’s wrong. The cast includes: Tom Ammirato, Bruce Apar, Melissa Chanza, Lourdes Laifer, Dianne Roxy Pennington, Fred Rueck, Steve Schnapper, Gary Simon, Donna L. White and Nadja Winter.
